Specialist insect herbivores are constrained by highly specific odor recognition systems to accept suitable host plants. Given that odor recognition leads specialist insects to accept a limited range of plants, we hypothesized that phylogenetically dista
Targeted-untargeted approaches combine known metabolites with the untargeted datasets as a hypothesis-generating tool to discover metabolite relationships, clusters, families and biochemical pathways15,18. The use of these models and algorithms enables a better understanding of metabolite commonality and ...
The collected data were processed and the results are expressed in a list of medicinal plants, with scientific names, families, collection point, used parts, form of preparation, traditional uses, and distribution (Table2). The plant samples were processed and identified at the Ecuadorian National...
Religion is one of the most fascinating and puzzling aspect of any ancient civilization. In the Mediterranean region no other religion has ever reached the ritual complexity, both in terms of prescriptions and lore, of that developed and practiced by the ancient Egyptians over the course of three...
It is published in a bilingual Chinese-English edition, providing a brief description of the morphological characters , flowering time, distribution and habitat of each flower in the book, sometimes also giving information on their uses. The families are arranged in the order of Engler's system,...
Venomous snakes in Central America include species in the following families: Coluridae, whose venom has low toxicity and bite symptoms are mild; Elapidae (yellow-bellied sea snake and coral snakes), whose bites causes life-threatening envenoming; and Viperidae (pit vipers), also causing life-...
Although it was never completed, it contains more than seven hundred species representing 164 families of flowering plants, a group of fruits showing the effect of fungus diseases, and thousands of flower parts and magnified details. Every detail of these is accurately reproduced in color and ...
Cloning was less clunky and limited than growing divisions, but it was still so slow, too slow for the commercial growers who employed him. Like Knudson, he also needed to prove that his lab-grown plants would flower, and with the same ideal flowers as the original. “In a few years, ...
To find the scientific name of the sunflower, we can follow these steps:1. Identify the Common Name: We start with the common name of the plant we are interested in, which is "sunflower."2. Search for Scientific
Both names are customarily italicized, and it takes at least two parts to name a species. The generic name can be understood as a 'collective name'16 for a class17 and indicates a grouping of organisms that all share a suite of similar charac- ters, for example, the generic name ...
